I don't understand the difference between "as it may be." and "though it may be"

Question

What's the difference?
-Expensive as it may be, they want to go to the London Eye.

-Expensive though it may be, they want to go to the London Eye.

I don't understand the difference between "as it may be." and "though it may be"

Answer

In my mind there's not a big difference between these two sentences. However I would say that "Expensive as it may be" indicates that this is expensive. There's no question about it. Whereas "Expensive though it may be" shows that it is probably expensive, although there is a slight element of doubt in the speaker's mind.

Hope that helps!
